So there is this woman at work who has been making nasty, snarky comments about a variety of things I do...such as the food I eat and where I buy it. Whole foods, it's often organic, the colours are not always blue or pink. Sometimes they are rather none descript. She has said that people who eat foods with additives are healthier than people who eat organic food. Vegetarians are unhealthy. That pretty much means me cause I'm the only one. Each comment, taken alone, would be something to ignore. But they have piled up over the last few months and become unbearable. SHE took a little hissy fit on Friday and made a few more pointed comments and then huffily left. Making it look as if I had done something to make her angry. It turns out she is upset because her husband is being transfered again. Okay. Be upset. Don't drag me into your little drama with all your transferance crap. K?
Everyone was left on Friday not knowing if she was coming in to work this morning or not...which would mean there would be no preschool teacher today or tomorrow at Mother's Tea. Which is a VERY BIG DEAL indeed! Mother's Tea, that is. The children have been rehearsing their performance for months.
Well, she showed up and told our director that her husband was being transfered and she did not want to talk about what she was doing to me. Our director left it there. I did want to talk and I told her what has been going on.
Now, this woman is not talking to me or even looking at me. So be it. I have done nothing wrong and I am not going to pretend I have and give her some kind of apology. If I thought I owed her one I damn sure would but as the abused party I don't think that would be very healthy and health is where we are heading. *Strive for emotional balance.*
So, am angry that everyone is working at denial in action but I suppose the day before Mother's Tea is not the best time to insist that a very nervous and emotional person take actions they don't really want to take. We'll see how things go after that and if the silent treatment continues it will ahve to be addressed. But, she is leaving eventually. It probably isn't really soon though. Last time it was a few months if I remember.
She has also pulled this not talking to people thing before with a couple of her aids and she was told then that she couldn't do that. But, fortunately, I do not have to spend all day with her. Just a few hours here and there. Still...this must be resolved in some way.
